THE Post Office has said it’s “not looking to replace” the Teemore Road facility after the popular shop closed its doors for the last time in another major blow to the local and rural community.
Following the closure of the shop last month, the Post Office has also been closed, with the responsible authority recently confirming that it does not plan to reestablish the vital service.
“We are writing to inform you that, regrettably, following the resignation of the postmaster, the above branch closed on Friday 11 April,” confirmed Area Change Manager, Janese Sung.
While the Post Office said that it will undertake a review of the service to assess the need for it in the rural community, there’s currently no plans to establish a new facility.
“The Post Office undertake a comprehensive review of the network to ensure that it continues to meet evolving customer needs in a very challenging economic climate,” explained Mr Sung.
“This review examined the network at a very detailed, local level, analysing customer demand and accessibility of Post Office services. We are not looking to replace Teemore Road Post Office.”
The Post Office has recently confirmed that it’s set to carry out an investigation into the failing standards at Newtownbutler Post Office which has been raised in the media in recent weeks.
Outlining that the post office in Derrylin and Kinawley can be used by Teemore residents, the Area Change Manager for the Post Office added that they “apologise for the inconvenience” caused.
“We apologise for the inconvenience the closure may cause,” Mr Sung said.
“We hope that our customers will continue to use Post Office services and details of alternative Post Office branches in the area. Branch information can be found on our website.”
